In this case report, a 38-year-old woman with monilethrix, a hair shaft disorder, was found to have both hair fragility and androgenetic alopecia, highlighting the diagnostic and management challenges posed by coexisting hair conditions.

In this study, the researchers observed that male pattern alopecia is characterized by miniature follicles, enlarged sebaceous glands, and an increased number of mast cells, without significant abnormalities in enzyme activity.

Monilethrix is a rare, inherited condition causing fragile hair and hair loss, with no cure but some treatments may help.

This study found that a dietary change in common marmosets significantly reduced in vitro erythrocyte haemolysis, improved skin lesions, and promoted complete fur regrowth, possibly due to increased vitamin E levels.

This report documents follicular dysplasia with pigmentary changes in two adult cows, contributing to the understanding of this rare condition in cattle.

This study found that excess vitamin A in organotypic cultures of embryonic mouse skin led to abnormal hair follicle development and glandular metaplasia, unlike in untreated controls that showed normal differentiation.

This study found that diffuse alopecia in female squirrel monkeys is associated with chronic telogen effluvium and appears to be predominantly age-related, potentially serving as an animal model for human diffuse alopecia.

This article discusses central trichoptilosis with onycholysis but provides no new clinical results.

This case report describes a 6-year-old girl diagnosed with the rare concurrence of monilethrix and trichorrhexis nodosa, characterized by sparse, brittle hair, who showed minimal clinical improvement with low-dose oral and topical minoxidil treatment.

This study found that ponytails with small fractions of gray hair have significantly lower swing height and higher damping, affecting the dynamic movement and appearance compared to those with fewer gray hairs.

This study identified two novel point mutations in the hHb6 gene associated with monilethrix, suggesting these mutations could serve as diagnostic markers for this genetic hair disorder.

Polarizing light microscopy can easily and reliably diagnose congenital keratinizing disorders like Netherton syndrome.

This study observed that northern elephant seals with skin disease had elevated pollutants like PCBs in their bodies, suggesting a potential link to the condition's unknown etiology.

This case report describes the first documented occurrence of pili torti in a healthy young adult cat, marked by noninflammatory and nonpruritic symmetrical multifocal alopecia.

Monilethrix involves multiple genes affecting hair structure, including DSG4 mutations.

This case study reports that moth-eaten alopecia and a macular rash, along with positive histopathology and serology tests, indicated a diagnosis of secondary syphilis in a 24-year-old male patient.

This study observed that 78.3% of patients with alopecia areata exhibited nail changes detectable by dermoscopy, notably nail pitting, in contrast to 14.2% of healthy controls, with these changes significantly associated with disease severity, age, and duration.

In this study, trichoscopy was found to enhance the early assessment of minoxidil therapy in males with pattern hair loss, leading to improved satisfaction and treatment compliance by revealing positive changes visible within one month.

This report describes an unusual case of proliferating trichilemmal cyst with trichoepitheliomatous change in a young woman, differing from its typical presentation in elderly women.

This study describes a form of lymphocytic mural folliculitis in tigers causing hair loss, concluding it may represent a nonspecific hypersensitivity reaction distinct from T-cell lymphoma.

This study presents the first reported case of woolly hair nevus appearing during adolescence, with significant improvement observed 5 years later and structural changes in the hair documented.

This study is the first to document alopecia in Guadalupe fur seals in the Northeast Pacific Ocean, finding that it may result from nutritional stress due to higher sea surface temperatures.

This study found that the mutation Glu402Lys in keratin hHb6 may be associated with monilethrix, and homozygous patients in a consanguineous family exhibited more severe symptoms.

In this small study, topical minoxidil 2% was associated with an increase in normal hair shaft production in patients with Monilethrix without any reported side effects.

This study suggests that the harlequin ichthyosis mouse model closely resembles human type 2 harlequin ichthyosis, indicating its potential as a useful model for studying the human condition.

This study analyzes the fine structure and protein distribution in monotreme hairs, finding similarities with other mammals and detailing unique immunocytochemical features in their inner root sheaths.

This study describes the stages of hair follicle development and foetal pelage growth in southern elephant seals, highlighting the formation and shedding processes of the first and subsequent hair generations.

This case study reports a patient with Rothmund-Thomson type congenital poikiloderma, showing primarily skin changes and hair loss, along with slightly elevated lysine and cystine levels in urine.
